[PATCH 1/4] Move traceframe checking out of traceframe generation

[PATCH 1/4] Move traceframe checking out of traceframe generation

[Yao Qi]

This patch moves traceframe checking code out of traceframe generation,
so that we can generation traceframe once, and do the checking in multiple
times (with target remote, tfile and ctf respectively).  This is a
pure refactor, not functional changes in unavailable.exp.

gdb/testsuite:

2014-04-26  Yao Qi  <yao@codesourcery.com>

	* gdb.trace/unavailable.exp (gdb_collect_args_test): Move some
	code to ...
	(gdb_collect_args_test_1): ... it.  New proc.
	(gdb_collect_locals_test): Move some code to ...
	(gdb_collect_locals_test_1): ... it.  New proc.
	(gdb_unavailable_registers_test): Move some code to ...
	(gdb_unavailable_registers_test_1): ... it.  New proc.
	(gdb_unavailable_floats): Move some code to ...
	(gdb_unavailable_floats_1): ... it.  New proc.

[PATCH 4/4] Partially available/unavailable data in requested range

[Yao Qi]

In gdb.trace/unavailable.exp, an action is defined to collect
struct_b.struct_a.array[2] and struct_b.struct_a.array[100],

struct StructB
{
  int d, ef;
  StructA struct_a;
  int s:1;
  static StructA static_struct_a;
  const char *string;
};

and the other fields are not collected.

When GDB examine traceframe collected by the action, "struct_b" is
unavailable completely, which is wrong.

(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = <unavailable>

When GDB reads 'struct_b', it will request to read memory at struct_b's address
of length LEN.  Since struct_b.d is not collected, no 'M' block
includes the first part of the desired range, so tfile_xfer_partial returns
TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE and GDB thinks the whole requested range is unavailable.

In order to fix this problem, in the iteration to 'M' blocks, we record the
lowest address of blocks within the request range.  If it has, the requested
range isn't unavailable completely.  This applies to ctf too.  With this patch
applied, the result looks good and fails in unavailable.exp is fixed.

(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = {d = <unavailable>, ef = <unavailable>, struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable>,
<unavailable>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 97 times>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 9899 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>, bitfield = <unavailable>}, s = <unavailable>,   static static_struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable> <repeats 10000 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>,
bitfield = <unavailable>}, string = <unavailable>}

[PATCH 2/4] Show new created display

[Yao Qi]

When I run refactored unavailable.exp, I find
command display behaves a little different on live inferior and on
examining traceframes.  In live inferior, when command "display argc"
is typed, the value of "argc" is shown.

(gdb) display argc
1: argc = 1 '\001'

however, on tfile target, when command "display argc" is typed, the
value of "argc" is not shown.

(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1
    at ../../../../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/unavailable.cc:198
198       i =  (int) argc + argi + argf + argd + argstruct.memberi + argarray[1];
(gdb) display argc

I also notice that on "core" target, the value of "argc" isn't shown
either.  This difference is caused by the code below in printcmd.c:display_command,

      if (from_tty && target_has_execution)
        do_one_display (new);

Looks the value of each display is shown if the target has execution.
Source code archaeology doesn't tell much about this requirement.
However, if we type command "display" then on "core" or "tfile"
target, the value of "argc" is still displayed,

for "core" target,
(gdb) display argc
(gdb) display
1: argc = 1 '\001'

for "tfile" target,
(gdb) display argc
(gdb) display
1: argc = <unavailable>

I feel that it is not necessary to have such "target has execution"
requirement to show the value of new created display.  Auto-display is
a feature to show the value of expression frequently, has nothing to
do with whether target has execution or not.  On the other hand, GDB
has the requirement for new created display, but command "display" can
still show them, this is an inconsistency, which should be fixed.

This patch is to remove the checking to target_has_execution from the
condition.

[PATCH 3/4] Save traceframes in trace file and read data out from trace file.

This patch is to make GDB read data from trace file, tfile and ctf,

[PATCH 0/4 V2] Partially available/unavailable data in requested range

[Yao Qi]

This patch series is V2, to address review comments in V1
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00395.html

There are some changes in V2:

 - Fall back to read from executable if requested data is unavailable
   in trace frames.
 - Modify gdb.trace/unavailable.exp to cover the scenario this patch
   is to fix.

gdb.trace/unavailable.exp is to test the collected trace data in live
inferior, but this fix is about collected trace data in trace file.
Patch #1 refactors unavailable.exp, so that it can be extended to
cover trace files.  During the refactor, we find automatic display
behaves differently on live inferior and on trace file.  Patch #2
is to get rid of this difference.  Then, patch #3 extends unavailable.exp
by saving traceframes into trace files, read data from them, and test
the output is identical among these targets (remote, tfile and ctf).
After this change, unavailable.exp exposes the problem patch #4 tries
to fix (see more details about the problem in patch #4).  I'll squash
patch #3 and #4 before push them into repository.

The patch series is tested on x86_64-linux with target_board unix and
native-gdbserver respectively.

  Move traceframe checking out of traceframe generation

Maybe ancient, ancient code that tried to prevent "display $pc"
from erroring out?

Judging from doing that when there's execution, and then
killing the inferior, and getting:

 (gdb) display
 1: $pc = <error: No registers.>

Looks like we handle errors fine here, so I see no issue.

I assume that if there's no target pushed yet, we'll now
see that error -- it's fine with me.

It would be good if display.exp itself was augmented to explicitly
test this.  Say, do "display global" (where global is a variable that
is initialized to something not zero), and also "display $pc" before
there's execution.

OK.

OK.

I trust this works even if "target ctf" isn't supported?

Yes, we use generic file write/seek APIs to write ctf trace file,
but use libbabeltrace to read from ctf trace file.  Even "target
ctf" isn't supported (libbabeltrace isn't used), GDB is still able
to save in ctf format.

Patches are pushed in.  Thanks for the review.
